No Entry No Exit

NO ENTRY NO EXIT (Mareille Klein, Julie Kreuzer, Germany). 82 minutes. Subtitled. Rating: NNN


A middle-aged two-time convicted child sex offender named Karl D. moves in with his brother’s family in a small German town, resulting in non-stop harassment of the family by neighbours and even the police.

Directors Mareille Klein and Julie Kreuzer give lots of time to a group of bloodthirsty demonstrators, Karl’s hot-headed brother, Helmut, and several angry female neighbours who gradually reveal why they’re so passionate about the issue.

The aloof Karl remains a more mysterious figure, especially after the film takes a surprising midpoint turn. The lack of a pat ending makes the film’s disturbing message linger.
